What a haunting short film. (I understand that it's adapted from a short story.) Tangent: It's ironic that the dialogue between the two aliens is spoken by humans. After all, the actors are rendering the dialog with meat sounds. I think it would have been better to use a speech synthesizer that's not based on actual recordings of meat sounds -- like eSpeak, DECtalk, or ETI-Eloquence. DECtalk, at least, is flexible enough to speak with whatever intonation you want, so the dialogue wouldn't necessarily come out sounding flat.
